Chapter 187: The Top Scholar in Both Martial and Literary Examinations, Di Cang Draws His Saber in Anger in Front of the Heavenly Profound Palace (4)
However, just as Emperor Zhao was about to announce the top scholar of this Hall Examination, Prime Minister Qin, who had been lowering his head silently, slowly walked out and cupped his fists at the Emperor’s throne.
“Your Majesty, I have objections.”
Prime Minister Qin maintained his bow and said.
In an instant, the entire Heavenly Profound Palace fell silent. Everyone’s gazes landed on Prime Minister Qin, who was dressed in a red official robe. Emperor Zhao’s gaze turned and swept over as if he was not surprised. “Oh? Minister Qin, do you have any objections?”
“I think that this martial examination… is controversial. According to what I know, An Le once entered the temple to observe the Martial Chief Stone. That time, it caused the will of the previous Martial Chiefs on the Martial Chief Stone to appear. It’s the same this time. Therefore, the will of the Martial Chief on the Martial Chief Stone favors An Le and is unfair to the other candidates.
As soon as Prime Minister Qin finished speaking, the atmosphere in the court immediately began to change subtly. Many civil and military officials knew what Prime Minister Qin’s words meant.
Although it was targeted at An Le, it was also targeted at the Lin Residence.
The top three rankings determined the ownership of the three treasures behind Eunuch Tong!
Deputy Prime Minister Ouyang Xiangru sneered but did not say anything.
Li You’an rolled his eyes without hiding it.
Madam Hua’s gaze was cold and she did not hide her coldness. Matriarch Yu was expressionless, but the murderous aura on her body was extremely strong.
No one in the hall said anything. They were all waiting for Emperor Zhao’s decision.
However, outside the Heavenly Profound Palace.
Martial Chief Di Cang was unhappy.
Terrifying Qi Blood suddenly erupted from his body. It was extremely dense and charged in front of the hall like a blood-colored dragon, roaring and growling.
“Qin Lishi, what are you talking about? Are you questioning the fairness of the Martial Temple? Are you insulting me, Di Gang?!”
Di Cang did not respect Qin Lishi at all.
He did not care what was going on or what storm was involved.
He only knew that Qin Lishi dared to attack the Martial Temple’s integrity. His displeasure with Qin Lishi completely erupted at this moment.
Like a blood-colored wave, it constantly surged and struck Qin Lishi, who was bowing in the court.
“Martial Chief Di, don’t be angry.”
Suddenly, a sharp voice resounded.
In front of the Heavenly Profound Palace, the purple-robed Eunuch Tong had already appeared in front of the door. He raised one hand and his five fingers turned into claws. A majestic aura surged up. A claw mark actually appeared on the Qi Blood wave that Di Cang had smashed out. It was blocked outside the Heavenly Profound Palace.
“Using the Martial Chief Stone as the test question is the greatest fairness. Being able to mobilize the will of the Martial Chiefs of the past generations in the Martial Chief Stone is the Martial Temple’s acknowledgment of it.”
“If you feel that it’s unfair, you can also mobilize the Martial Chief’s will.” Di Cang said coldly.
He raised his hand and grabbed the Zhao Ancestor’s Dragon Slaying Saber behind him.
In an instant, extremely sharp saber intent instantly intertwined in the Heavenly Profound Palace.
Even Eunuch Tong’s expression was solemn, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
“How dare you!”
“Di Cang, what do you think the Heavenly Profound Palace is? Do you think it’s so easy to be impudent and use force?”
“Vulgar martial artist, how dare you be so lawless and release your cultivation aura! Where’s your respect for His Majesty?!”
With a series of scoldings, accusations were cast skillfully.
In the court, the Primordial Spirits of the civil officials surged and interwove into a huge net that pressed down on Di Cang.
Di Cang snorted coldly. The Zhao Ancestor’s Dragon Slaying Saber behind him suddenly slashed out a foot. The saber intent became even stronger. Even if the civil officials of the dynasty went against him, he was not afraid at all!
“Minister Di, the Founding Ancestor’s saber entered your hands not for you to wave in front of the Heavenly Profound Palace.”
“Put it down.”
On the Emperor’s throne, Emperor Zhao swept his gaze over and said indifferently.
“Minister Qin is only expressing his opinion. I haven’t decided on the exact situation. It’s improper to fight and kill here.”
In the court, the civil officials restrained their thoughts.
“Your Majesty is wise.”
The civil officials cupped their fists and bowed.
Di Cang’s hair was disheveled and his tattooed face frowned slightly. He pursed his lips and took out a foot-long saber. He sheathed it heavily and let out a clanging sound. The Qi Blood in his body slowly dissipated.
“Since Your Majesty has said so, I have nothing to say.”
“However, Prime Minister Qin, remember this. I’ll remember your disrespect to the Martial Chief Stone today.”
Di Cang’s burning gaze landed on Qin Lishi’s bent back as he said coldly.
At the same time.
The Second Headmaster of the Literary Department, Pang Ji, who had left in a hurry, returned under everyone’s gaze and landed in the Heavenly Profound
Palace.
Second Headmaster Pang Ji’s Confucian clothes fluttered as he stepped into the palace. After bowing to Emperor Zhao, he glanced at Di Cang, who was emitting a murderous aura.
He spoke in a deep voice, “Your Majesty, I think Prime Minister Qin is right..”
